we wanted to thank you Ed for uh for joining our criminal uh uh group cabal
or I don't know what that's called sorry if you were incriminated um but we
appreciate you risking everything to go and uh get us another Drive um you you
did get one that was still IDE we still appreciate that though
somehow it still had the same issue and we had three drives that didn't work
and so so I guess all that is to say for
any of you at home uh we did what we did
because we had no other choice I was able to delete the the the volumes and
then I just told it to do a quick format mid format suddenly it just disappeared
it said the format failed it's just
gone I think it might be the adapter it is it's an old adapter um whoa the drive
edel stole isn't working so Paul and K send edel to get them another drive but
this time they get caught red hand what's this what's going on are you
stealing hard drives for them Ed is stealing hard drives for them Ste what's
what is this Ed Ed what do you what is this what do you got what do you got
going on over there yeah I I don't really know how it
all turned around but basically we just figured well we want to put something
out there we want to get a system that we can compete with so um if what we
have to do is resort to um a bit of skull duggery then that's what we'll do
looks like these boys will do anything to win but if they're going to use this
external hard drive from Paul's personal stash they're going to have to cover
their tracks put it right there yep we'll never know feed it out the
back what do you think you can you're just talking about blatant cheating now
yeah Point well how are you going to feed out the back with the side panel on
I'm going to bend out one of these and I bet I can fish fit that through there
maybe I can just set it in the bottom there you go is there any other I mean
at this point we're we're we're screwed anyway so just a matter of either trying
to get away with something you want to try to adapt that
uh you have like some velco that we can like sort of stabilize the the tribe
with I can tape it down with Gaff tape I'm liking how this is coming along
so far I think once the side panels are on everything will sort of come together
and it'll at least be eye-catching do we have an optical drive
screw here's one
awesome okay what needs to be done okay I still need to Mount Drive need to go
on the front needs to go on oh hold on
not yet no front doesn't go on front can go on very soon if you tighten these
screws the front can go on then we're good is this a hard drive
SP Bay what is
this uh it can be whatever you want it to be
Pony Boy want me to run this first you
yes yeah that was the plan I can't really oh God I don't know if the GPU is
going to fit anymore with that hard drive now can we just drill some holes
mount in the bottom it might it might you can just go in the bottom just
wait um what no well okay it has to come
out for now that much is clear can we can we just mount it on the can we drill
some holes mount in the bottom super easy we can but and not actually a bad
thing but the power won't
reach because of your optical drive just unplug the optical drive no I'm not
unplugging the just wait okay hold on just hold
on just let me get what is this oh no
this is fine this is good this is
fine these stupid things no I don't think we have time to
remove it
so hard to line up okay now I just have
to make sure that I don't push down that
went in didn't it okay good okay okay
fine new plan for the hard drive then you got to unplug the optical drive hold
on got to lay on the bottom hold on you think it's going to reach maybe Jesus
Christ I'm actually like sad that it reaches good okay this drill bit for
screws was this what you used I love your sadness was that what you used hold
on I'm relishing the sadness right now okay like you're slowing us down oh hold
on which one this one yeah that's the one I use but hold on hold on hold on
hold on let me actually check the spot first some of us think before we do
things okay some of us get things done
some of us can do
both it wouldn't be so late if it wasn't for your hard drive we wouldn't be so
late if it wasn't for
you well I can pull this tab up no no no it's it doesn't help it's um it's the I
I hit the radiator okay so yeah we could go there
that's brutal or you I can't do my optical drive
though this table I can't even find
things where the hell did the scissors go and I know they're like right under
my nose and it look like right did you take the scissors
no I'm blind I'm going crazy going crazy
this is that time of day yep I where the hell the scissors go all that uh taping
sort of worked up an appetite it's not a
bribe just something for him to spelled
his name what oh I did look we've been
working hard retired just trying to get
get this bribed I mean is look the fudge
fudge for him fudge came from England from and everything oh is
finished I really don't have time um we
forgot what if I use this put the Hop hard drive on top of this put that in
the bottom that could work okay that could
work and I present to you your hard
drive stand with screwed in hard drive
okay I don't know how to fix that down we need more screws I guess and more
drilling more screws more drilling or we tape the crap out of it we have no tape
we don't have any tape that would be useful for no no way it's a hard drive
we can't we actually cannot half ass the
mount uh okay so if it went on like
that it would sit you can even flip it over to give yourself a little bit more
height like that that's true do that
I don't think we could have gotten these holes any more perfect if we'd uh
actually measured them properly there's a I can tighten those more yeah move on
move on here here here here maybe get it turned on or something I it'll hold no I
got to I got to screw it in I got to plug it in first anyway so we need a
minute double checking everything 24 pin
connectors good front panel connectors all good yeah hit it punch it
chewy there it
is I want to see it in Windows before I breathe that deep we have half an hour
look that I oh it's we should just yeah
W brilliant oh my God could it cover
this the gash and the no not quite two we don't have my
kit anymore I lost my kit yeah we have we have Brandon's steal
Brandon's kit I mean if there was a judging category for Creative use of
sponsor product hey not bad you know what these
holes down here don't look bad at all okay Center bench is done I'm pulling up
real bench Okay so if we were to
just wrap
it you'd never be able to even open
it um yeah
and like what if we just what if we just
wrapped it in RGB I was kind of thinking even just
like the top I don't know if we're going to be
able to make those kinds of yeah no there's no way like
yeah oh hi hey guys uh so so if we're
done with our benchmarks do we have like enough time to just rerun them now or do
do we only get one run what settings did you guys use exactly uh the ones that
were agreed upon at the beginning of the all the good ones yeah did you like
screenshot the GTA settings or like uh yeah we can can you send us
screenshots with all the settings you used okay sure GTA uh we're starting
with Tomb Raider so for Tomb Raider we have it set to very high
FXAA okay very high FXAA and is there a
dead cut off time for when benchmarks have to cease five five
five yeah so then so then fiveish okay
got it cool thanks uh but can you send me those like immediately we got to run
rest of the Tomb Raider now yeah I'll send GTA so uh yeah we're all like Paul
and I are full actually still transferring the games to the internal
or internal uh hard drive um which should take another 5 10 minutes it's
about 3 4 no it's 4 440 honestly I got
to say I'm surprised that they're that they've got their benchmarks run and are
asking especially because they apparently well Ed probably stole a hard
drive so you think their hard drive is like not well their hard drive isn't
working and then we gave them ours and we know that would have taken a long
time a while to get out of there and then you have to get all the games on it
then you have to install them so they're not running off that drive
no mean bad people mean people yeah ow
oh well there's this Gap in the side of it
now from you punching it
no we need to hear back from them can you can you go follow up with them like
yo we really to get the benchmarks for more than anything to know what settings
you guys are using cuz like we have to rerun them if they're wrong so what did
he do for
ashes hey guys yeah what' you do for
ashes we're saving that for last so you haven't ran it yet we're probably going
to have to do standard okay because have you have you tried the harder ones
they're like insane okay cool standard DX so do you
want us sending you guys settings like are you guys bling us and you haven't
actually run anything yet where's
that pretty sure that's what that was I'm pretty sure that's what that was too
okay so should we just like should we just take the backing off and like YOLO
this I don't think there's any other option especially cuz you have to do 5 m
it's going to like take a while yeah we have have to go around
this thing like five times well I was hoping to kind of do here can you can
you hold it up yes but I'm going to have to stop every once in a while when like
this finally boots or something it it
takes a bit this is so stupid this is not going to win us the
best like I feel bad even taking
valuable time out of our celebrity judges day to look at
this but I had imagine my head was like like like tight all the way across
it's not even lit yet it gets worse man
oh God okay hold on just hold on this might be the best place to start where's
the other end where's the controller box it's taped to the bottom cool controller
box okay I sort of wish we just got
flowers even if we just like walked up and handed them to Jay okay you ready
what if you do here I honestly I don't think we have
time we actually have 7 minutes to have benchmarking
finished I you could do around the base
under the HP logo right here with tighter barsuk I am resigned to this why
we still have multiple games to run
could use some we so basically what happened was the
hard I don't want the whole explanation um cuz there's there'll be plenty of
time for that uh we
are we're just not starting benchmarks
you're just now starting benchmarks yeah okay well that's not too bad we're not
too bad I mean we have a functional system and and all that kind of stuff
but okay okay
not going to dance for you
okay K C dance so are they like they're
starting benchmarking now starting benchmarking
now okay so this is very
interesting we basically can decide now
because we agreed that over 1 hour of
benchmarking you got 10% of your score deducted per 10
minutes it is 507
there's the is there's the is we're done benchmarking now right we have one more
game oh we still have one more game can we finish it in 3 minutes well I think
we get to decide when the ish is but yeah 10 minutes can be an is we also
didn't start benchmarking till 4:30 I don't care I but I mean that's not an
hour of benchmarking I think the big
thing to do given that they're just starting their benchmarking now rather
than deduct 30% I think the big thing is to go and
confident and tell them look you can have all the time you
need I kind of want to destroy their hopes and dreams no no no we'll destroy
their hopes and dreams later we said fiveish and we had also said when we
laid out the rules at the beginning that every 10 minutes over the deadline was
minus 10% I believe to your score that's
correct we did say that so Luke and I
have discussed this and we've decided that we are so confident
that we want to we want to go up against
your guys's full score okay that's that's quite Noble of you that's how we
feel well that I we appreciate that for
sure yeah but um okay well that's that's good to know
green and blue do you think really you can't use those those are
M colored Sharpies okay we're just going to we're
going to go back to our garage where things are saying that's a good idea the
world makes any sense and uh we're going to kind of pack up and get ready to head
over to the celebrity judges okay Point
wow well I feel even better that was a
real pickme up you know that might legitimately be better than color
Sharpies that's awesome apparently apparently they're under the impression
now that we've colored our system with sharpies I think it's much much nicer
that sharp I think they might have just jumped the gun a bit
it's pretty bad but it might be better than colored
Sharpie what that better not be the
ho I I would imagine they did more than that but if they did any more than that
then 10% won't help them so like we
actually helped them a lot I think it's going to take them like
half an hour to actually run all their benchmarks so that's literally 30% right
there and then we gave them a hard drive
they wouldn't have been able to do it you did say maximum 30% for overtime
but they'd have to like go buy hard drive they probably didn't have any
money for it yeah that's true no I guess
we said they get money back for failed components but they would have had to like it would have taken them till like
late tonight do you think they dropped
it wouldn't it be ironic to to lose
scrapyard Wars against me because you dropped
something oh no there was so much promise in our build oh
no so I just got done doing the backside
panel upside
down I think I'm going to go shoot myself legitimately Paul do you have a
gun no I not have not purchased a gun
well uh hopefully Jay has a sense of humor we'll do we'll have we'll have
we'll have the system facing this way right so he'll come in this way and then
we'll flip the whole system no and then we'll be like Jay look at the back and
like like this look over there yeah totally natural and then it's and then
it's right we designed it that way I need just take off take it off flips
over you can peel it off yeah that's all you have to do together I guess I could
all right I mean I got to run all these benchmarks so sure sure sure let me just
double check okay I'm assuming I'm assuming if we leave the side panel
after in The Benchmark okay oh my
god oh this going to be such an ordeal
okay I don't know man okay yeah I have to do it there's no choice I literally
have no choice this is the biggest derp
this is this goes beyond derp edel can't
even hold the camera steady this is bad this is so
bad oh
my gosh
okay so I have just finished reorienting
all the letters for our side panel here
and it actually looks pretty good you wouldn't even notice that uh something
went horribly wrong I still have to kind of trim out some of the uh the tape here
on the tops just to give it a little bit more spacing some more head room but for
the most part I think Jay's still going to enjoy this and let's just you know
let's hope that he prefers to be on the bottom than the top
so when lukee and lonus came out and agreed to drop the time penalty for me
and Paul because we were taking so long I was super relieved obviously because I was like there's no way we're going to
win this contest if we're we're getting penalized 30% on our score for taking
half an hour longer than we should it gave me more time to actually focus on
the RGB elements of the case uh I was able to like trick it out a bit more and
put some more thought and effort into the whole design of like just taping it
like crazy and making it look really nice which was like okay if we at least
win the RGB theme portion and win the 10% modifier to that that's still going
to outperform what they were what they were able to do with the overclock so
overall I felt pretty good about it I do already feel drawn to this one a
little bit I mean I've got to say I've a little partial to
this okay so I had absolutely no idea
what to expect going into this I wasn't even really told of a theme other than
RGB and scrapyard Wars with RGB already seemed kind of a stretch the cool thing
is I I honestly can't even begin to guess which team made what well the one
on the right I kind of this reminds me of Legos which is already kind of kind
of a throwback I do like the message the message is true um the case also is a
bit of a throwback I like the floppy um I do wish it was glowing
though but then again RGB this is red green blue right doesn't have to be
lighting necessarily uh
got an Intel box on the front right here I'm assuming this is some sort of an
advertisement potentially of what's inside I'm not too sure what this is
yeah this seems like something Kyle would do I'm just saying I mean I every
I I I feel like I'm lying my instincts are lying to me because I'm trying to
guess who would have created what but I do I don't see lonus approving this to
be to be honest so I'm I'm a little
conflicted I do like the GL theme over here uh this one has a lot
more labor involved that's for sure so I
I do wish that this had actual Lighting in it but I feel like there was a there
was a bit more attention to detail on this one here I do feel like this one's
lacking a little bit of glow though wow so we can't we can't say wow
that's that is oh
goodness see they have I like I like that response all right okay let's take
a look at their colored electrical they actually got Point yellow yellow is not
red green or blue neither is white is a combination neither is white neither is
they are byproducts of those colors neither are these different colors an
RGB that your LEDs are turning yours looks like it's in bondage like a long
strip right there there a long strip yeah also requires external power that
is that makes sense quite an interesting
video card you guys have got it's a shame I can't actually look into your
system had a window or something I like appreciating the hardware getting a good
look at it but um I guess just now I
want to say that I accurately guessed whose computers was who based on my
comments because it all came down to this I said lineus would have never
approved
this um Jay just a quick distraction I mean not not you supposed to wait till
after sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry nothing to do with the ACT also I
also now there's a couple things I thought to myself too I'm like this seemed like a lonus tactic I think I
said that but then I went did lus really bring these boxes down with him I don't
think so so I don't know where the boxes came from but I just know for a fact
this message would not have been approved by the boss okay okay all right
all right all right okay so let's let's let's put up let's put up or shot up
here you guys got your scores ready oh I I should C bench C
bench 671 you were joking are you serious 672
oh no way but with the weighted scores that's
pretty much well I'm going to venture to say it doesn't have a 3960x in probably
not have a 3960x the r the
RG wow okay might the same real bench
why don't you guys go first on this one okay
93,7 183 89 34
46 you want to go ashes first uh sure uh
we had 55.6 ashes my
God okay 54
54.1 o when the first gaming result came
in I was
devastated absolutely devastated how
could they possibly have a GTX 980
TI how could they possibly have gotten that and the
processor they did you probably should have taken the
30% down from their thing we're actually going to win I mean that first score
that was read off when we beat their C bench score by one point I was like
that's good and then when we started to get to the gaming benchmarks in
particular I mean if One gaming Benchmark you win on you're probably going to do well in the other so
obviously rise of the Tomb raid R of the Tomb Raider uh why don't you guys want
to go first this time sure okay
109.0 say again 10.8 I okay so I tested I tested yes
it's true I tested rise of the Tomb Raider myself however I had just taken
over for Paul he had been running benchmarks of Rise of the Tomb Raider
for the last half hour or so and I just
hopped on and was like okay is this good to go do I need to change something and he just said it's good to go just go
ahead and click run just leave it as is well that's obviously not a good score
then no we had 59.9 .92 so I it 59.9 was
VN on I don't know Kyle Kyle ran that one you told me to just run out a
default whatever it was you just said youve been running it all day and I was
like what do I do you're like just run it as is the r of the Tomb Raider score
clearly had vsync on it was only 60 frames per second we didn't have time to
check to catch that and then went right back the other direction and we're going
to hand have to hand it right back to luk and Linus because uh with the
weighted scores that R single rise of the Tomb Raider score dragged us down so
far that they were beating us you said just run it as
like all right that sounds like this
could be interesting this could hit us with GTA 5 what do you got uh we have
117 frames per yeah we're
10199 probably not for Honor for Honor
13.18 123.
75 we still don't know the average uh the average score so we actually have to
we have to punch this that rise of the Tomb Raider score could really hurt everything else
is defaults to vsync on every time I install it so I have no idea 5992 I
know yeah we're we're we're screwed oh godamn I don't know you were ahead of us
on I don't know you guys let's just uh okay so hold on a second hold on a
second okay that's going to crush us we spent a while trying to figure like how
team imba
57465 team RG Beast 550
54.6 obviously disappointment from our
side no it's not done oh it's not we have the RGB Factor we have the RGB
Factor this is I think we have to know the RGB Factor
J okay before I
continue I I love everybody in this room this is going to be a lengthy
controversy I gave it to RG Beast
because this just was a this was phoned in this was like this this was an effort
it was the labor that went into the taping of this that sold it so RG Beast
comes away with 610 points and team imba comes away with
574 all right I'll be right back did someone say that home field advantage
wouldn't matter in this one I think that was that was
that was really was like back and forth so I like SM I think we have to be the
big men here and present them with their
trophies check it out you guys you
officially won scrapyard War season 5
I'm very proud thank you the guy on the top is ripping open his rib cage or
something we're really not sure what is
with that there like the alien seed in there that's trying to escape he showing
us his insides yeah well we're I'm very honored
you awesome uh scrapyard War season 5 winner you played hard and you're
awesome get it and our awesome awesome
did you guys plan that or yeah of
course solid well done thank you thank
you both I think I'm glad we didn't skimp and just bail on the winter trophy
yeah crap I'm not glad we gave them the 30% so thank you guys for watching
scrapyard War season 5 huge thank you to
to Paul and Kyle uh for giving us their
their space for three days for competing hard and I'm not going to thank them for
winning but uh thank you guys thank you
guys huge huge shout out to our celebrity Jud who uh ultimately dealt us

SL Linus bundle that you had earlier
yeah we paid 15 bucks 15 okay how much did you you guys pay for your SSD wait
is this an is this an external drive this isn't even the one we gave you whoa
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa hold on a minute now the when you
gave us hold on a minute now are you
guys using Hardware that you didn't
buy well technically whoa whoa whoa whoa
wao the hard drive we were that we did buy was defective that
drive that's not mine well we
had it is all black so we to be has to
be move and do what the last Drive did
so that's what you stole no that's not what he stole that's not what he stole
where did it come from uh It came it came from the hard
drive manufactures we went through three hard drives including the one you gave
us and none of them none of them work I
think you should go get the other ones is that this F's dead is the system off
oh the system's off ex decision do be continued or
uhuh maybe we can re revisit this we
already shot the outra oh oh that's the
magic of video editing my friends be
a it has come to my
attention that team RG beast in the RG
Beast only has wait a
minute there is an SSD they have three drives no there's only as do we what we
have an optical drive an SSD and a hard
drive oh and they have an SSD and a floppy drive and a hard drive
but their hard drive which was oh very cleverly concealed here boys
their hard drive was not actually
obtained with scrapyard Wars
money so hold on to these for a minute
because I would like to ceremoniously take them
back and declare victory for team imba
yeah team can I can I just say that I don't
want to be associated with the cheating team and that I do not endorse this
Tower as it sits this magnetic yeah it is magnetic so I'd like you guys to read
out your new trophies here
okay uh it says scrapyard Wars season 5 loser you lost but at least you got to
be on the show my my eyesight's not
working right now so thank you to
everyone thank you to J our special celebrity judge for helping us out
staying so late after these guys so inconsiderately kept you stuck here
hours after you I changed my vote loves to go home I changed my vote thank you
to Luke for being my just fantastic partner thank you to our camera people
you guys were you guys were awesome thank you camera people awesome
fantastic thank you to our audience for
watching and I think that pretty much wraps up the thank yous you guys can
go from I'll get
so who was it what who which of you was
it how could I have had time to do that when I was so clearly doing all of this
oh this was that bus is bearing down on me I
think I should step out of the
way all right so here's what I came down to obviously we were running over time
and obviously the the decision we had to make was basically concede and you know
avoid all of this excellent drama that we provided for all of
your now now this is out of cons now
this is out of consideration for the fans we have to make this a challenge
and it was very close you're taking those back so yeah
um yeah I mean we didn't have enough storage so
